The resolution, introduced by a group of Michigan representatives, calls on Congress to reject President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which they argue would have detrimental effects on essential social programs and the overall well-being of Michiganders. The resolution criticizes the proposed legislation for cutting funding to Medicaid, SNAP, and WIC, which provide critical support to low-income families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. It highlights that these cuts would not only increase poverty and food insecurity but also lead to significant job losses in healthcare and exacerbate the financial burden on working and middle-class Americans.
Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the negative implications of the bill on the national debt, claiming it would add $2.8 trillion over the next decade, posing an economic threat to future generations. It also points out that the bill disproportionately benefits the wealthiest households through tax cuts while leaving millions of families without adequate support. The resolution urges Congress to instead focus on policies that fully fund essential programs, protect vulnerable communities, expand healthcare access, promote clean energy, and ensure a fair tax system for all Americans. Copies of the resolution are to be sent to key federal leaders, including the President and members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
